Chapter 40.
The Heart Never Forgets"But, you're extraordinarily mine. "
" That.. doesn't make sense. " you giggled.
"Yes it does, as long as it means I love you, I love you, I love youuuuuu"
You giggled, " You're such a Pabo, Dae"
He hugged you tighter,
" Only a Pabo when I'm with you. "
You bit your lips to stop your smile from growing too widely.
That warm feeling growing in your heart is exactly how it should be for the past few years.
It should be like this.. Holding on to Daehyun whenever you want.
Stealing kisses and singing sweet words of love to each other whenever you want.
That ought to be both of your love story.
Your heart cringed at the following challenges you may face.
You remembered how the fans asked to reveal their relationships.
You remembered how bad you read the news about other idol's girlfriend after being revealed, their stories.
You closed your eyes, and hugged daehyun tighter.
" Dae.. "
He hummed, ever so sweetly. As if, he was singing a lullaby to you.
" I... " you found tears again.
For some odd reasons, you have been crying so much lately.
You were never a cry baby, never.
You have always forced yourself to swallow in any pitiful tears, you found yourself weak crying.
But.. you couldn't control those tears this time.
It was almost as if, ... it came naturally as the words fell out of your mouth.
" I... This isn't a joke right? "
You tried to raise your head to look at him, the blurry visionn caused by your tears makes you feel weak and make you pressed your head down.
" Huh? "
You mumbled, " I thought you had moved on. "
You lowered your head on his chest.
It sounded so embarrassing...
He chuckled, and his laugh gave you warm vibrations, as if assuring your insecure heart.
" Ji Yeon... "
He lightly leaned back, so he could use his index finger to lift you up.
"Was it Noona?"
He gave you a smirk.
You bit your lips and embarrassedly looked away.
" I thought you moved on. " He teased.
Your eyes widen.
"H-huh? W-What.. Why? "
He kept his grin and waited for it to be registered in your head.
Your mind wandered..
" Oppa?!?!" you cried out.
He gave another hearty chuckle and let his hand bring your head back to his chest.
" We're even now. "
You grinned to suppress that giggle.
You resisted his hand and leaned back.
"No we're not. "
He raised his eyebrow...
"Why? "
Your heart was feeling a little jumpy.
"I... I... "
Your mind started to remember that box that you brought over..
"Where is it? "
You spinned yourself around to find that shoe box..
You started to retrace your step and found yourself walking out of the dorm doors.
You gave a light scream and covered your mouth.
" WhyWhy? " he rushed out of the doors.
He followed your line of gaze and it leads to an opened box...
"Its broken.. " Your heart winced at the word 'broken'
(Please refer to chapter 22. )
His eyes widened.
There were two broken glass mug.
Funny.. why didn't he hear the breaking of glass?
(Or why did B.A.P not say anything at the sight of this? )
But he wasn't least bothered by the glass mug..
What he saw was two pair of couple socks..
Two couple shirt..
And... that item that his eyes lingered on for the longest.
He walked forward..
He bend down.
His hand reached for the necklace.
There were two.
His eyes gazed at the jewellery before him.
It wasn't just an ordinary neckalce.
He did a soft calculation.. " 1..2..3.......24. "
He did the same calculation on the next necklace.
" T-This.. " he stuttered as he turned around to look back at her.
She gave a warm smile.
"Do you remember?"
His heart felt fuzzy as the rememberance of the promise they had.
FLASH BACK
"Daehyun ah... "
He gave a frustrated look.
You grinned.
" MY JAKI!" you tried to added aegyo inside.
He chuckled and ruffled your hair.
" Yes, M'lady? " he gave you his most loving smile..
"Is this the dream you want? " you asked softly.
He thought for a while..
He stared at the skies..
He nodded..
" Yeah... I want to be a singer. "
You gave a thoughtful stare at the fields before you.
It was summer.
And both of you were having a picnic at the nearby park.
It was one of the last few days before he would head to seoul.
"Why? " he asked gently as he carressed your cheek tenderly.
You bit your lips.
" You wouldn't fall in love with girls from Seoul right?!" you gave him a death glare.
He chuckled..
" Maybeee... " he gave you a playful grin.
Your face immediately became shocked and eyes widen at his words.
He smirked,...
"Maybee I'll never ever stop loving this lovely woman before me. " he added..
You blushed.
Gosh, he was always this good with words.
You gave in to the silence.
"How can I know... I'll be here at Busan... " you mumbled softly.
You want to be a mature girl supporting your boyfriend but insecurities were there.
He chuckled as he held your waist and pulled you closer to him.
Summer wasn't that warm, and being close to him wasn't all that sticky and sweaty.
In fact, it was such a beautiful moment you wished it would last forever.
"I'll... buy you a necklace. "
You gave a immediate, " Huh?"
"I'll buy myself a similar necklace. " He was staring at the clouds.
You gazed at his delicate features and your heart tingled a little.
" I'll hang a star charm every month. "
"Why star?" you couldn't help but cut in.
His eyes went back to find yours and he gave a warm smile.
"Cause I'm afraid I'll forgot who's the star in my life when I become one"
You smiled... then you realised the intention.
" Eyyyyyy... you this arrogant guy! How do you know you'll be a star?! Who knows... you might need me to support you in the future. " you gave a playful smirk.
He gave a pretence shock face and lightly smacked your nose.
"Hey.. shouldn't it be the other way round?"
"Don't knowww~ " you added a playful tone.
He hugged you tighter.
"And.. I'll never forget that star that I leave behind in Busan. "
You were blushing at his words, but you didn't want to let him know.
"Your mum will kill you if she hears that."
He hugged you..
"I have you to protect me... "
You gave a devilish grin.
"NO WAY"
You started to break free from his grip and run around the fields.
" COME BACK HERE" He gave a mischievious smirk as he started to chase you.
FLASHBACK ENDS
His face was indescribable.
It was like a mixture of being touched, and confusion.
"Why a star every month..?" you smiled as you bend down and squat down before him.
He was still in a trance. When the question sink in... a smile slowly grew.
"Because... " he was drowned in his thoughts.
You gave a giggle.
" I love you Busan WonBin. " you gave a light peck on his lips.
He smiled into the kiss and managed to mumble..
" Me too.. "
And before a hot makeout session break out.. You broke off the kiss..
He gave you a confused face, " Later.." you added shyly.
You hurriedly stood up to clear the gifts.
You attempted to clear the broken mugs.
It was meant for both of you to add to your collection when both of move in to a house..
You were believing that day would ever come.. even though you left him when you were in Australia.
He gave a soft yell..
" Nononono! I'll clear! Go in... "
You grinned.
And immediately changed your face into a straight face..
"Sheesh.. bossy... "
His eyes widen and placed his hands on his hips.
"W-what?!"
You grinned and made your way in.
You never left..
You peeped through the doors..
You gazed at him.
Your heart was memorising how he looks like..
How he was cleaning stuff..
How he was smiling as he was doing it..
"Ah. " he gave a soft shriek.
Your eyes widen and immediately flung the door open and run to him.
"HURT!? ARE YOU HURT?!" you were over reacting but.. your heart would hurt so badly to have him hurt.
He didn't reply.
You shot him a concerned look..
He gave you a smirk.
" I told you to go in right?"
He leaned in and pecked your lips.
"Naughty JiYeon. "
You blushed.
"Yahh... What's this!" you throw a little tandrum.
You stood up and left for the dorm doors.
You turned around and caught a grinning Daehyun.
"I'm Hungryy! "
He wailed childishly.
You rolled your eyes.
You went in and started making food.
He didn't ate?
Oh right.. He missed a party for you...
You started to check the fridge for ingredients..
Hmm.. Kimbap and eggrolls? You could make Seaweed soup too..
You rolled up your sleeves and put on an apron.
You giggled at the thought of HimChan wearing this apron.
You know he was the only other person who can cook.
You started to beat the eggs..
You cut the vegetables.
You boiled the water and threw a couple of seaweed.
You set the oil in the pan and heat it.. and slid the egg mixture in..
And.. soon you were done!
You turned around and caught a gazing Daehyun.
"Oh? How long have you been standing there? "
You set the plates on the table.
"About... 2hours." He gave a bored yawn.
You rolled your eyes.
You turned around to take the other dishes.
He back hugged you.
" Thankyou JiYeon. "
He whispered into your right ear.
You could feel his heart pumping against your back.
"W-What for?"
" I thought I'll lose you again."
His tone was sad.. and hurt.
You turned around and faced him.
You tiptoed and leaned in to pressed your lips on his.
"No more such words.. or I'll kiss you!" you gave a giggle.
His smile grew.
" I am sorry.. I am sorry.. I am sorry! "
You rolled your eyes.
"Mister Jung... Can you please. "
He pressed his lips three times on yours..
"There.. was it that hard? "
You bit your lips to suppress the flushing of your cheeks.
" Can.. you let me settle dinner?" you mumbled softly.
He chuckled and broke free his hug.
Once you set the dinner.
He hurriedly ate.. and you stared at him.
With a smile...
"You miss me so much right?" he asked with his mouthful.
His eyes twinkled with so much mischievious.
Today both of you were so cheeky.
At least it was better than having both of you crying.
You nodded.
You lightly bit your lips as you feel the emotions resurfacing.
"Aigoo.. Jaki.. " He set his chopsticks down.
You looked away and let a tear slide down.
"No.. " you mumbled softly.
"What no.. ?" He asked cautiously.
"Daehyun ah..." You faced him..
He caught your red and watery eyes.
"This... This was be a tough battle to fight. " you gave him this sentence.
You saw him gulped.
" I know. " he replied softly.
"I..I don't know how I'm going to face this. I am tired of hiding myself from you. I'm really afraid what might happen. I don't know what the fans will do. It's your dream and I never want to get in the way. I always.. have never stopped loving you but I don't want my love to be a burden.. I really really want to love you like how we used to love.. But I don't want to face pressure from it..
And more importantly... "
You were surprised he didn't stop your rattling.
He gave you his attention.
His pretty eyes were set on yours.
" I never want to be not good enough for you. " you ended softly.
He gave a confused look. " you're perfect Jiyeon.. You are good enough for me.. "
You bit your lips.
"I am just JiYeon. I am not like some super star.. I am not beautiful. I am not a genius. I can't dance well.. I can't sing well.. I can only cook those dishes. I am always upset at the smallest thing. I am not brave.. I... "your heart was feeling that familar weight.
He cupped your face and looked into your eyes with seriousness.
" I don't know who ever gave you that insecurity.
You.. are not just JiYeon.
You are my JiYeon.
You are my star.
You're not just beautiful, but just like an angel (refer to his confession)
You are not smart, but a genius. My Genius.
I don't need you to dance well.. I'm not that good with dancing myself.
I can always teach you to sing.. No.. I can always sing for you!
And.. I know I say my ideal girl is someone who cooks 9 traditional dishes.
But.. what's more important to me is that there's this girl, who loves me and is willing to cook for me.
Even if we are poor and we can only manage with bread and butter.
You.. are the girl I want to share every meal. "
He was searching for something in your eyes..
Or maybe just the right words.
"This.. is a tough battle.. " he began.
"But.. I love you and that's all I know. I hope its the same for you. "
Your eyes were flooding.
You ramped yourself on his chest.
He took in all of your sobs again.
He.. says the most beautiful words.
I'm sorry Daehyun.. for not being brave enough.
I will be.. from today onwards.
I will.
After dinner.
He brought you into his room.
He gave you a warm smile.
"Here... wear this. "
He passed you the couple shirt.
Once you held the shirt, he went to find a pants for you.
"There.. I remember I still kept your clothes somewhere here... "
He mumbled and he immediately found one.
You giggled.
"I... I... " you were getting embarrassed.
" What?"
"OhOh! ... " he started getting red.
"You could go to the bathroom, or I'll hide under the covers. "
You grinned.
You went to the bath room.
And when you're out, he was already waiting.
"JiYeon ah... " He brought out his hands.
" These are beautiful. "
The rings!
You've forgotten them!
"You made them?" he asked as his eyes never left the beauty of the jewellery.
You giggled, " My friend Samantha made them. "
You looked at him for awhile. He turned around at the feeling of you staring.
" She said, to give this to you only if you have not moved on. "
You smiled.
He grinned and put out his hand.
"There, slip it oon!"
You giggled as you slipped the ring with your name engraved on it into his fourth finger.
And he immediately took your hand and slipped the ring into your fourth finger.
"Wait! "
He started searching and brought out the two pairs of socks for both you.
He bend down and slipped the socks for you.
And started to wear them himself.
You giggled.
"What's this?"
He gave you a smile.
"Your present right? I'm using them well.. "
"Pabo.. " you gave a embarrassed smile.
You crept under the covers and he immediately went ahead to snuggle with you.
"This is just like the dream I had for many years. " He your hair.
You smiled and moved yourself closer to him.
"The one where we're back together .. still loving. "
You let your smile take over the emotions in you.
"Merry Christmas Daehyun. " you whispered.
"Santa gave me the best present. "
He pressed his lips on the top of your head.
"Merry Christmas, my love"
"Sing for me Daehyun... "
And his honey vocals resounded in the room.
Both of you head off to dreamland together.
I apologise for the long wait .
I wanted this to be perfect you see..
And.. I fell sick again. -.-
